The Flea – John Donne
the speaker is the lover who wants to have sex
he's getting desperate, he's tried lot of ways to get to her but he still has one card in his sleeve. It's all about sex, not romantical description. He's talking to her not to kill the 3 lives – his, her and flea
It's playful, not tragic. It's a seduction poem
